How the cursive z works — joins, family, and the usual mistake

Z is an overcurve-family letter (m, n, v, x, y, z) and, with q and g, one of the three letters that most surprise print-writers. Writing a print z with a connector tacked on — the cursive letter has a loop tail, not a flat base.

The cursive capital Z

The cursive capital Z is the lowercase at full height: a grander hump, the same baseline tuck, and a deep flourished tail.
